Survey of Need for Extended School Program (ESP) - May 2025

Please complete one survey per household. This survey will take approximately 3 minutes to complete.

Dear Parent or Guardian,

Our school district is seeking your input regarding the need to begin or continue the Extended School Program (ESP) in our community. Extended school programs provide the resources necessary to open our school buildings earlier and keep them open later as well as provide summer school programs. The major reasons for extending the school day include: providing students assistance with homework, providing students safe places to stay while their parents are still at work, and providing students enhanced learning opportunities in reading, STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math), service learning and career exploration/work-based learning.
